Benjamin you are 14 months! Your little personality is coming out more and more. Which has been really fun to see evolve. You have a great laugh, do sneaky things and see if we are watching, and can have quite a temper when you get upset.
The few things I've got recorded for this month are: you started wanting to use a fork to eat your food at most meals- which I finally figured out after much pointing and frustration on your part. You do really well with it most of the time, but sometimes go back to using your hands when its easier. You have been adventurous to try some new foods- and have really liked watermelon and sometimes bananas. You love when I make french toast for breakfast. You have added No to your vocabulary. You say it sometimes and others shake your head. You began blowing kisses, which has been super sweet. You want to climb on everything and don't want to just sit at in the stroller at the playground now. You want to be climbing and playing. You are happy to go to your nursery bible class and play away in there.

We found out this month when you get mosquito bites they get huge and swollen.
You and I had our first night away from each other, and ended up being over 36 hours. Our longest stint yet. Dad says you did just great, and I had lots of fun.

More teeth are breaking through on top and bottom, but they haven't seemed to have bothered you as much as the first 4 teeth.
We all love you very much and are so glad you are in our family!
Love, Mama

May 18th: Getting some books to take on our trip. She totally pulled this pose without being asked, when I was trying to sneak a picture of her looking for books. (and yeah, you never know when you need snow boots when the heat index is almost 100.)
